Biomedical scientist/Molecular Biologist: cancer biology, stem cells, cardiovascular research with 15 years of expertise

Profile Summary

I am an experienced cell and molecular biologist with 15 years of research expertise in gene regulatory mechanisms and cellular signaling in cancer, stem cells and cardiovascular biology. I have a PhD in cancer biology studying RNA binding proteins in colon carcinogenesis. Subsequently I have extensive experience as a postdoctoral researcher in RNA biology-genetic and epigenetic regulations in stem cells and cardiovascular biology. I have authored several first-author publications in leading journals (Oncogene, JACC:BTS), served as a peer reviewer for journals and grants, presented research outputs at international conferences (AHA, IACR, BSDB) and have won best awards for scientific talks and posters. Additionally, I have successfully contributed to funding applications, including major UK grants including from British Heart Foundation. I am fascinated by work on transformation of life, health and wellbeing through research and fostering a positive environment. With expertise in scientific consulting, manuscript development, scientific communication; I am available to collaborate on projects involving research consulting, literature reviews, manuscript writing, scientific presentations, posters and grant writing.
